ANSVQ IS SENT TOIECEKT NOTE OF
ffiHAN fiOVEmm
AS TO EXIVOTIRG AIMS
Vacto
That Amt
ID#-*
dor Reraatorff U Laboring Under
Falae
barge on Arm* Would be Violation
af Neutrality
Hie United Stat ■ replied Wednoe-
day to the recnt memorandum In
which Coant ron Borngtorff, the Oer
man ambassador, declared “that if
the American people deelro to ob
serve the neutrality they will find
means te stop the exclusive importa
tion of anas to ono side, or at least
to use this export trade as a means to
uphodl the legitimate trade with Ger
many, especially the trade in food
stuffs.’'
The American note, sign'll by Sec
retary Bryan, was drafted at the state
department, but was Anally penned
by President Wlloon himself. After
pointing out that the language used
by Count von Bernstorff “is suscep
tible of being constned as impugning
the good faith of the United States in
the performance of Its duties os
neitrel,” the note “takes it for grant
ed that no such implication was in
tended," and suggeats that “evidently
the German ambasasdor is laboring
under certain fnlse impressions."
It then declares .hat while the re
lations of the United States with any
one of the belligerents “can not wise
ly be made a subj-et of discussion
with a third govornment," such cor
reepondence between tho United
States aad the allies as has been pub
lished shows “the stead fart refusal
of the American government "to ac
knowledge the right of any bolliger
ent to alter the accepted rule* of war
at see. insofar as they affect the
rights and interests of neutrals."
The attitude of the United States
on the question of exportations of
arms Is restated—namely, that to
place any embar^- on arms during
the progress of a war would be
direct violation of the neutrality of
the United States.” The note refers
to the cpir t of friendship, which the
United States desires always to maal
feet toward Germany and its people
and concludes with the declaration
that the neutrality of the United
States “is tounded upon the Ann
basis of conscience aad good will."
The communication was delivered
by m nee sage to Count ven Bern
storff late Wednesday and by agree
ment with the German embassy the
state department made it public
Wednesday night.
The text of the note follows:
“Baoelleney: I have given thought
ful consideration to your Excellency's
note of the 4th of April, 1A1B, enclos
ing a memorandum of the earns date,
in which your Excellency dlscui
the notion of this government with
regard to trade between the United
States aad Germany, aad the attitude
of this government with regard to the
exportation of arms from the United
States to the nations now at war with
Germany
“J must admit that I am somewhat
at a loss how to Interpret your Excel
lency's treatment of these matters.
There are many circumstances con
nected with these important subjects
to which I would have expected your
Excellency to advert, but of which
you make no mention, and there are
other circumstances to which you do
refer which I would have supposed
hardly appropriate for discussion be
tween the government of the United
States and the government of Ger
many.
“I shal take the liberty, therefore,
of regarding your Excellency’s refer
ences to the course pursued by the
government of the United States with
regard to interferences with trade
from this country such as the gov
ernment of Great Britain have at
tempted as intended merely to illus
trate more fully the situation to
which you desire to call our atten
tion, and not as an Invitation to dis
cuss that course.
“Your Excellency’s long experience
in international affairs will have sug
gested to you that the relations of
the two governments with one anoth
er can not wisely be made a subject
of discussion with a third govern
ment, which can not be fully inform
ed as to the facts, and which can not
be fully cognizant of the reasons for
the course pursued. I believe, how
ever, that I am JustlAed in assuming
that what you desire to call forth is
a frank statement of the position of
this government in regard to its obli
gations as a neutral power. The gen
eral attitude and course of policy of
this government in the maintenance
of its neutrality I am particularly
anxious that your Excellency should
see in their true light.
“I had hoped that this govern
ment’s position in these respects had
been made abundantly clear, but I
am, of course, perfectly willing to
state it again. This seems to die the
more necessary and desirable be
cause, I regret to say, the language
which your Excellency employs in
your memorandum is susceptible of
being construed as impugning the
good faith of the United States In the
performance .of its'duties as a neu
tral. I take tt.for granted that no
such implication was intended, but It
is so evident that your Excellency is
laboring under certain false impres
sions that I can hot be too explicit in
hotting forth the tacts a# they are
when fully reviewed and comprehend-
as an absolutely necessary
against mliAgtng neutral
for vessels owned by an ene-
my^flk,against mistaking legal car
goes for illegal. It has admitted
also the right of blockade if actually
exercised and effectively maintained.
These are merely the well known lim
itations which war placea upon neu
tral commerce on the high seas. But
nothing beyond these has it conceded.
I call yoar Excellency’s attention to
this, notwithstanding it Is already
known to all the world os a conse
quence in regard to these matters
with several of the belligerent na
tions because I con not assume that
you have official cognizance of it.
“In the second place this govern
ment rttempted to secure from the
German and British governments mu
tual concessions with regard to the
measures those governments respec
tively adopted for the interruption of
trade on the high seas. This it did,
not Of right, but merely as exercising
the privileges of a sincere friend of
both parties and as indicating its im
partial good will. The attempt was
unsuccessful; but T regret that your
Excellency did not deem it worthy of
mentibn in modification of the im
pressions you expressed. We had
hoped that this act on our part had
shown our spirit in these times of dis
tressing war as our diplomatic corre
spondence had shown our steadfast
refusal to acknowledge the right of
any belligerent to alter the accepted
rules of war at sea insofar as they
affect the rights and interests of neu
trals.
"In the third place, I note with
sincere regret that, in discussing the
sale and exportations of arms by citi
zens of the United States to the ene
mies of Germany, your Excellency
seems to be under the impression
that it was within the choice of the
government of the United States, not
withstanding its professed neutrality
and its diligent efforts to maintain it
in other particulars, to inhibit this
trade, and that its failure to do so
manifested an unfair attitude to
wards Germany. This government
holds, as I believe your Excellency is
aware and as it is constrained to hold
in view of the present indisputable
doctrines of accepted international
law that any change in its own laws
of neutrality during the progress of a
war which would affect unequally the
relations of the United States with
the nations at war would be an un-
justlflable departure from the prlncl
pie of strict neutrality by which it
has consistently sought to direct its
actions, and I respectfully submit
that none of the circumstances urged
in your Excellency's memorandum
alters the principle Involved. The
plactwg of an embargo on the trade
in arms at the present time would
constitute such a change and be a
direct violation of the neutrality of
the United States It will, I fell as
sured. be clear to your Excellency
that, holding this view and consider
ing itself in honor bound by It, It is
out of the question for this govern
ment to consider such a course.
"I hope that your Excellency will
realise the spirit In which I am draft
ing this reply The friendship be
tween the people of the United States
and the people of Germany Is so
warm and of such long standing, the
Use which bind them to one another
in amity ere so many and so strong,
that this government feels under a
special compulsion to speak with per
fect frankness when any occasion
arises which seems likely to create
any misunderstanding, however slight
or temporary, between those who rep
resent the governments of the two
countries. It will be a matter of
gratiAcation to me if I have removed
from your Excellency's mind any mis
apprehension you may have been un
der regarding either the policy or the
spirit and purposes of the govern
ment of the United States Its neu
trality is founded upon the Arm basis
of conffdence and good will.
"Accept, Excellency, the renewed
assurances of my highest considera
tion.
(Signed) “W. J. Bryan."
At the German embassy no com
ment was made on the note further
than a statement that it had been
transmitted to the foreign office at
Berlin, and that as it was a reply
from the American government to a
communication from the German gov
ernment the embassy was without
authority to say anything until in
structed to do so.

Arrangements have been made be

Berlin Says Load Operations on Shore
of Golf of Seroe Are Already Under
Way—Turkish Batteries And An
glo-French Fleet Engage in Heavy
Cannonade.-
Berlin reports Wednesday by wire
less: The Tnges Zeitung publishes
a special dispatch, the origin of
which is not given, saying that twen
ty- thousand British and French
troops have been landed near Enos,
in European Turkey on the north
side of the Gulf of Saros.
A heavy cannonading took place
between the Turkish batteries around
Enos and the warships of the allies,
says the dispatch.
An Athens dispatch says great ac
tivity has been noted among the Brit
ish forces on the Island of Lemnos,
west of the entrance to the Darda
nelles. Troop transports are arriving
daily at Lemnos from Alexandria,
Egypt; tho censorship is more rigid;
and all Indications point to strong ac
tion against the Dardanelles at an
early date.
A dispatch yesterday from Dedea-
gatch, Bulgaria, near Enos, said a
violent cannonading occurred on the
Gulf of Saros Sunday evening. The
Aring was so heavy that buildings in
Dedeagatch wero shaken.
Constantinople reports Wednesday
via wireless to Berlin and London:
“It now is definitely known that six
torpedo boats attempted to penetrate
the Dardanelles Monday night."
There has been no previous announce
ment of a concerted effort Monday
night by vessels of the allied Aeet to
run the atmlU and the above dim-
patch -foils to disclose what was the
reeult of the operation. .
IxHidon reporta Wednesday: Dis
patches from the French front show
considerable military activity, but
there is little evidence that either
aide has gained materially. What
ever small advantage has been reap
ed seems to rest with the Germans
between the Meuse and the Lorraine
fxoatier and with the French at Fll-

effect a sort of industrial conscrip
tion by which employees shall forego
some of their proAts, trade unions
suspend some of their rules necessary

Berlin reports Wednesday: “In
the western arena a battery of the
enemy observed not far from the
cathedral of Rhelms was taken under

front was repulsed at Flirey yester
day with heavy losses to-the Freorh.
In the wood of Le Pretre we gained
further ground.
"In the Vosges the enemy unsuc
cessfully attacked our positions to
the northwest and southwest of Mat-
neral and at Sondrnach. Here thei
French suffered serious losses.
"Early yesterday morning an avia
tor of the enemy dropped bombs on
the town of Loerrach, in Baden, darn
ing a silg factory belonging to a
Swiss as well os two other houses
and injuring several civilians.
"In the eastern arena there has
been no change in the situation.
“I reply to the dropping of bombs
by Russians on Insterberg and Gum-
blnnen, both open towns situated
outside the zone of operations, we
dropped 150 bombs yesterday on the
railroad junctions at Blalystok."
Paris reports Wednesday: "A can
nonade of some violence took place
in region of Arras yesterday.
"Between the Oise and Aisne, be
tween the Meuse and the Moselle and
in the wood of Montmare, close to
the Flirey-Essey high road, not only
did our attacks make* some slight pro
gress, but two German counter at
tacks on the line of trenches we had
succeeded in winning April 20 were
successfully repulsed.
"Belgian aviators have bombarded
the arsenal at Bruges and the avia
tion ground at Lissevegh."

United States and Great Britain
Make no Change In Policy.
While declining to discuss In de
tail the American policy toward the
Japanese-Chlnese negotiations. Secre
tary Bryan said Tuesday the United
States government still stood firmly
on the announcement made at the
beginning of the Wilson administra
tion of its purpose to support the pol
icy of the open door and freedom of
commercial opportunity in the far
East.
From Sir Edward Grey’s state
ment of a similar character in the
British parliament, officials believe
that Great Britain's position has un
dergone no change and that the prin
ciple of the open door will continue
to be the aim of the powers.
The Japanese government has
given rssurances that it is not its pur
pose to violate either the open door
policy or China’s territorial.integrity.
How far its present demands on
China may be considered as infring
ing on these principles can be answer
ed only by a knowledge of details of
the negotiations, something officials
are unwilling to discuss because of
the injunction of secrecy placed on
the matter by the Japanese govern
ment.
Officials appear optimistic over the
progress of the negotiations, indicat
ing a belief that the difficulties at
Peking may be adjusted satisfactorily
without requiring further diplomatic
correspondence between the United
States and Jtpan.
